Lockscreen wallpaper not changable?

---

Hi,
I have a strange problem. When I try to change the wallpaper of the default lockscreen on SGSIII, nothing happens. I get to set the crop size in gallery and then it returns to the settings....without the logscreen wallpaper being changed.

Anyone else experiencing this and know how to fix it?

Are you using the stock gallery to crop the wallpaper or using another app? I also had that trouble but was using a 3rd party app to crop like quickpic and it wouldnt save. I then tried the stock gallery and it worked fine.

I have the choice between "gallery" and "wallpaper" and I have tried both of them without any luck.

What im really trying to say is that after you click gallery and find the picture you want to use as a wallpaper for the lock screen. did it ask you to complete the action using another program to crop it? like did you install another gallery app? if you did install another gallery app, did you set that as default action? because if you set another program as default, or using another program to "crop" it and not using the stock gallery app, it may not work. if you did set another program as default to crop it, you may need to go into that app and clear defaults in settings => application manager, then use the stock gallery app to crop the picture

You were absolutely right. Another gallery app had taken over the crop part so even though I used the samsung gallery app for selection of the wall paper, the cropping was still done by the other app.
Clearing defaults helped solving that.
Thanks a mill.

I had this same issue as well when I first got my phone, good tip Thanks!

I also noticed that if you uninstall the stock Gallery app, the wallpaper chooser force closes when you try to change the lockscreen wallpaper. Not your issue here, but maybe someone else will stumble across this who is having the same issue I just spent 30 minutes fighting with.
